This group of people was wearing black flying fish suits, majestic, and they were originally chattering in the restaurant, but when they saw them, they immediately fell silent.

I saw that they just looked around, and then went straight to Zheng Zhilong's table, and the leader only glanced at it, stared at Zheng Zhilong and asked, "Are you Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in Fujian coastal defense?" ”

"It's this official!" When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was very surprised, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and stood up with a fist salute and replied.

The guards such as the pillar suddenly became nervous, and they didn't know what it was about the Jinyi guard who came to Zheng Zhilong by name. They all stood up and approached Zheng Zhilong to protect him.

When the leader of the brocade guards saw it, he glanced at them, just smiled coldly, and then looked at Zheng Zhilong and said: "The emperor has decreed that Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in Fujian's coastal defense, will immediately enter the palace to meet him!" ”

"Zheng Zhilong's order!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about eating, and immediately rushed to the Forbidden City with Jinyiwei. However, he was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know how Jinyiwei found him? After all, although his appearance is relatively elegant, he is not so easy to recognize in the crowd, not to mention that this is in Beijing, so many people!

Zheng Zhilong really couldn't figure it out, but when he arrived in the Forbidden City, he wouldn't care about it, clean up his mind, and prepare to face the saint!

But for some reason, Zheng Zhilong suddenly felt a little nervous, which surprised him. I don't know how many winds and waves I have passed, and it is not that the senior officials of the Ming Kingdom have never seen it. Let's just say that Xiong Wencan, although he is a governor, but he didn't pay attention to him from the beginning, he should talk about it, he should laugh, and he is at ease.

If you want to say that it is because it is the Ming Emperor who wants to see it, and it is the reason why you are today, Zheng Zhilong does not think so. Thinking about it again, he finally understood a little. It is true that it is not because it is the emperor, but because the various things that this emperor has done are really unexpected, but they are very powerful.

Zheng Zhilong thought that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to think of it, and he would not be able to do this. It's because of this kind of cognition that is not within my control that I am nervous.

In the Wuying Palace, Zheng Zhilong followed the chamberlain and entered, and according to the prior instructions, he bowed his head and saluted: "Fujian coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Zhilong, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Zheng Qing is flat!" A young voice came, Zheng Zhilong listened to it, and felt very steady, and did not have the kind of tone that was unique because of his youth.

After thanking him, Zheng Zhilong finally had a chance to look up, but saw a young man sitting on it, quite with the momentum of a superior person, although he did not sit straight, he could make people feel that he did not dare to underestimate him.

He saw that the emperor was looking at him, and for some reason, he immediately felt a trace of nervousness.

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally curious about this famous pirate. From the moment Zheng Zhilong entered the palace gate, he was already looking. However, he found that Zheng Zhilong's appearance and temperament were a little different from what he imagined. Zheng Zhilong gives people the feeling that he doesn't look like a big pirate at all, but more like a businessman.

After Zheng Zhilong finished the salute, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Zheng Qing came from Dengzhou, which can be regarded as fast. If you count it, Zheng Qing came from the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, it's very hard, right? ”

"That's what the last general should do!" When Zheng Zhilong heard the emperor speak, he still comforted himself, and couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly hugged his fists and replied.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and continued: "The grain transported from Annan can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need of the Dongjiang River, and I have also said that as long as the grain arrives, it will be a great achievement. I remember this. ”

Speaking of this, he nodded to Wang Chengen, the rotating eunuch on the side.

When Wang Chengen saw it, he immediately took a few steps forward, took out the holy decree that had been prepared and said, "Zheng Zhilong takes the decree!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he hurriedly knelt down to accept the order. He didn't expect that this was Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree to fulfill his promise, not only promoted his own official and served as a general of Fujian coastal defense, but also named his son as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei and entered Beijing to practice literature and martial arts. Among them, Xiuwen was taught by Hanlin in Guozijian, and Wu was taught in the Jingshi Junior Wubei Hall.

After Zheng Zhilong received the order to thank him, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Qing has been in the army for a long time, but he can't delay his son's future." I specially ordered people to set up civil and military classes, just to give meritorious officials peace of mind about the king's affairs. Qing should send his son to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

In this feudal dynasty, it is nonsense to talk about fair competition. Emperor Chongzhen planned to train the children of Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and other meritorious ministers to make them the pillars of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty, which took a lot of thought. And on the other hand, some people's children studying in Beijing are actually hostages in disguise, especially those who hold great power and crisscross the sea.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't think of these things at the moment, what he thought at this time was that his son had entered the emperor's eye since he was so young, which means that as long as he succeeds in learning, he will definitely be in the future and will be in the phase, and he no longer needs to work hard from the bottom like himself!

As for whether his son can learn it, he is still confident in this. Thinking like this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be very excited, his son's future is settled!

Thinking so, Zheng Zhilong immediately played excitedly: "The emperor's grace is vast, the last general will send the dog to Beijing as soon as possible, and the last general will also serve the country wholeheartedly, although he will die without regrets!" ”

Hearing his statement, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled faintly, took over his topic and said: "I don't want my soldiers to die to serve the country, I hope that my soldiers will serve the country, and then they can enjoy their old age in peace!" ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly changed his words and asked Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Qing went to Annan, what do you think of Annan?" ”

In the previous time, Xu Guangqi had been ordered to leave Annan, inspect Guangxi, and continue to promote sweet potatoes and other crops. Before leaving, a clear ruling had been made on the matter of Annan.

The Li Dynasty in the south is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it refuses to pay tribute to the grain, and also sends troops to attack the Ming Annan Capital Envoy, which can be punished! They are limited to pay tribute within this year, and submit a petition for guilt, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

The words were left there, but the promise of sending troops was not given to Mo. They are on the north and south sides, and if they want to fight, they should fight first. When the Ming Dynasty is free, he can use this reason to send troops and occupy the entire Annam Peninsula.

Emperor Chongzhen was actually bound to win the Vietnamese Peninsula in later generations. After Daming frees his hand, it will become a springboard for Daming to conquer the South Seas.

As for whether the Li Dynasty in the south will surrender and run out of excuses, there is no need to worry at all. If Li Chao really had this heart, he wouldn't have been fighting with Annan to death! Therefore, while Zheng Zhilong was there, Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation over there.
